A method and a system for growing plants on multilayer principle in mobile gutter farming is described, whereby, in the process of growing plants planted in cultivation gutters, said plants are conveyed in cultivation layers present on top of each other in a cultivation space in a longitudinal direction of the cultivation space in one or opposite directions. The cultivation gutters and the plants contained therein, are treated in the cultivation space by means of a processing arrangement in a cultivation layer-specific manner, whereby the cultivation gutters and the plants contained therein are first of all conveyed by motion elements in each cultivation layer of the cultivation space in the longitudinal direction of the cultivation space in opposite directions and are treated by processing elements in each cultivation layer of the cultivation space separately, in a manner substantially independent of the other cultivation layers.
A method for growing plants on multilayer principle in mobile gutter farming, whereby, in the process of growing plants planted in cultivation gutters, said plants are conveyed with auxiliary power-operated motion elements in cultivation layers present on top of each other in a cultivation space in a longitudinal direction of the cultivation space in one or opposite directions, characterized in that the cultivation gutters used especially in mobile gutter farming, and the plants contained therein, are treated in the cultivation space by means of a processing arrangement in a cultivation layer-specific manner, whereby the cultivation gutters and the plants contained therein are, on the one hand, conveyed by motion elements on each cultivation layer of the cultivation space in a first cultivation line in the longitudinal direction of the cultivation space and thereafter in a second cultivation line in opposite direction with respect to the longitudinal direction, and, on the other hand, treated by processing elements on each cultivation layer of the cultivation space separately, in a manner substantially independent of the other cultivation layers.
A system for growing plants on multilayer principle in mobile gutter farming, said system being intended for growing plants planted in cultivation gutters by conveying the same with auxiliary power-operated motion elements in cultivation layers present on top of each other in a cultivation space in a longitudinal direction of the cultivation space in one or opposite directions, characterized in that the system includes a processing arrangement for treating the cultivation gutters used especially in mobile gutter farming, and plants contained therein, in the cultivation space in a cultivation layer-specific manner, said processing arrangement including first of all motion elements for conveying the cultivation gutters and the plants contained therein on each cultivation layer of the cultivation space in a first cultivation line in the longitudinal direction of the cultivation space and thereafter in a second cultivation line in opposite direction with respect to the longitudinal direction, and, on the other hand, processing elements for treating the same on each cultivation layer of the cultivation space separately, in a manner substantially independent of the other cultivation layers.
